Some of these illustrations are incredibly nice and, as you say, they manage to capture the atmosphere better than the other editions I have seen. I love the teal colour of the cover, though I'm not very fond of the dustwrapper. I own the Easton press leather edition which is stunning on the outside, it has the Rackham illustrations, which are nice, but not as good as Igpen's. Thanks for the video, Denis!

I discovered "The Wind in the Willows" a few years ago after finding a copy in a second hand shop. I really enjoy the story and am currently reading it for the third time. I decided that I wanted to get a really nice copy with the full version of the text (the book I had was abridged) as well as lovely illustrations. My first impulse was to hunt down an edition with Arthur Rackham illustrations, but after seeing this I may reconsider. It's beautiful.

I love this book and all the other illustrated classics by Robert Ingpen! And I love how you mentioned Story Teller which I remember very well (in fact, I created a Facebook group dedicated to it which is very active). Thanks for this review!

This was such a great & helpful review. I was looking for a nice edition to have, in addition to Folio Society's one I'd like to get as well. Was thrilled to find it still available. The Inga Moore illustrations in other editions are incredible - but I believe are only for abridged versions.

Hey Denis! Great idea! Guess what ... I have just done a personal rebinding of an old copy of Byron, Keats and Shelley poems! It would be great to see how you make it!

Ingpen is an amazing illustrator and I wish I had discovered him earlier as I cannot find these beautiful hardback versions (this one included) - my heart is breaking...

Hello! If you are still interested in buying Robert Ingpen books, I was able to recently purchase a copy of his Alice in Wonderland in hardback off of Amazon. I was really happy with it since the story was unabridged in my version, and there were illustrations of some sort on every page. Well worth the affordable amount that I spent! I saw his Peter Pan and Wendy available too.

@@kookiekommenterhi!thank you!I managed to find all of the books I was looking for with his illustrations, and I am expecting in mail this one from day to day, to complete my collection❤. I found the following: in greek editions (same quality hardback etc)} the adventures of pinocchio, the ugly ducking, silent night, around the world in 80 days, a christmas carol, the jungle book, treasure island.And in english editions which I prefer because I like to read a book in its original language} Peter Pan and Wendy,Alice’s Adventures in wonderland,the wonderful wizard of Oz, Gulliver’s travels,Tom Sawyer,the secret garden, and The Dream Catcher which is a thinner book he had written as a lyrical lullaby book to his son, if I’m not mistaken. He is an amazing artist and I love the colours he is using. I wish he would be chosen for the Harry Potter books too, but as I understand that might be difficult as he is elderly now (born in 1936).Oh well, we have at least his past illustrated books to admire and cherish.
